Chapter 73:The Unwanted Fate

Freya's POV

There was tension in the room. From all sides, eyes pierced me, some with hate, some with dread. The group was split.

A man snarled, "She's dangerous." "She ought to be removed before it's too late."

Finnick took a step forward, his face grim. "I'll cut you down myself if you even try."

"You're defending a monster!" exclaimed someone else.

Dorian's tone was piercing. And you're behaving like stupid idiots. You're all prepared to kill her even though none of you know what she is?

The crowd echoed with a murmur. I was ill.

They had good reason to be terrified. I was scared of myself, too.

By raising a hand, the silver-eyed leader ended the debate. Cold and calculating, his eyes met mine.

"This can only be resolved in one way," he stated. "We require evidence."

I gasped. "Evidence?"

"That it is under your control." He spoke firmly. "Prove to us that you pose no threat, or we will determine your destiny."
